I just came across a photo gallery of shots from 1986 showing the unbelievably gorgeous Basso Building on Woodward just north of Grand Boulevard. What on earth happened to this beauty? It didn't look THAT bad [[especially compared with the Latin Quarters nearby, etc.). There's nothing on its site. Can anyone fill us in on the story? I mean, this thing was gorgeous. Not sure if this link will work, but I'll try:
